He obviously won’t go for that, but at least they’re talking.

[Ogaju]

lol. Isnt that Terry Rozier money?

[jbpats]

TBH it's exactly what he's worth

[saltlover]

Yep, which is why he’s not signing for that.

I was just going to type this.  First thing I thought of.

[liam]

That's a whole lot of money.

How much more is max?

I guess he can receive $27,250,000 a year so, 109 million for 4 years.

[Csfan1984]

Min I would expect him to take is 84 million. 80 million was a decent offer. Now that he has an agent probably going to be 96 million asking price from Brown's camp.

what I was thinking

and i know which one of the two I would rather pay

I hope he earns that this season.

Max is (projected, based on next year’s salary cap):

Celtics can offer: 5 years, $169.7 million (this is the $170 million Simmons and Murray have received).
Other teams could offer: 4 years, $125.8 million
Over four years, Celtics could offer: 4 years, $131 million.

In other words, Brown could get an offer sheet next summer that beats this offer from the C’s by more than 50%.  So no way he agrees without a much higher number.

My proposed offer (that I’m 95% sure is legal) is: 5 years, $122.9 million.  That’s a max contract next year, with the maximum allowed decrease every year.  As far as I can tell, to get the 5-years in an extension, Brown needs only be offered the max salary in year 1.

To me 80/4 is like the minimum offer that isn't insulting. My guess is takes more like 92/4 before it makes him think. I the cap is 116 million as projected his max next summer would start at 29 million.

[Vox_Populi]

It would be convenient if he accepts that. But if he and his agent sense some team will offer more, man has no reason too.

Thats roughly 24 million a year averaged over the deal, which seems like a years average Brown would probably want to beat and B) Do so on a shorter deal so that if he does blow up he can hit the market sooner.

I think an interesting option would be a shorter deal with a payer option at a bargain-ish price. That gives us a good value contract, while letting him hit the market at a younger age at a presumably higher cap.


I'd  say theres a  good chance he just plays out the season, if he plays well enough to get a big contract then he probably played well enough that the Celtics would be happy to pay it.

I agree, but I have to wonder that, at some point, players may consider the IT/Cousins factor. Basically that if they play out the season and hope for more money, they also risk the chance at a career altering injury that costs them their one guaranteed chance at a huge payday.
